24/3-9 Stratford Parade Stratford, QLD 4870

There is something incredibly appealing about a home where you don't need to arrive with a list of jobs.

No kitchen to update. No tenants to wait on. No work to do before it feels like yours. Just unpack, settle in and start enjoying one of Cairns' most loved suburbs.

Positioned on the top floor of the beautifully maintained Stratford Gardens complex, this renovated two-bedroom apartment feels light, private and wonderfully easy to live in. Natural light fills the open-plan living and dining area, while the elevated position welcomes fresh breezes.

At the heart of the apartment is the new kitchen - fresh, modern and already finished for you, with stone benchtops, ceramic cooktop and sleek black appliances. It gives the entire living space a contemporary feel without losing the relaxed simplicity that makes apartment living so appealing.

Both bedrooms are generous, with built-in robes and split-system air-conditioning, while the bathroom incorporates an internal laundry for everyday practicality.

Then there is the balcony. Sitting above the complex with an outlook across to the pool, it is an easy little spot to imagine becoming part of your daily routine - coffee in the morning, a glass of wine in the afternoon, or simply opening the doors and letting the breeze through.

Stratford Gardens is a well-kept complex of just 28 apartments, with tropical surrounds, an in-ground swimming pool, shaded gazebo and dedicated car accommodation. And perhaps one of the biggest advantages - the apartment is ready for owner-occupancy.

There is nothing standing between you and moving in. For a first-home buyer, that means the excitement of making it yours straight away. For an investor, it means the freedom to secure a tenant immediately, with an estimated rental return of $550-$570 per week.

The work has been done. And your Stratford chapter can start whenever you're ready.
